My garden in june getting higher and fuller - the mangetout are ready for cooking - the small cucumber is very crunchy....

The English Garden

I visited my mother, who lives in the south of England. She has an enormous garden full of roses and allsorts of other flowers - vegetable patch - fruit trees. It is a pleasure wondering around on the grass looking at all the colours. Here are just a few pictures.

When I am there I love to do some weeding. It is very therapeutical!

GARDEN - my garden a few weeks later. I just love the different colours of green.

Just back from a week in NY and I visited  the garden balcony I love on East Houston (near the Bowery). It was still there, wonder who lives there??

My garden and it surroundings.
This tree is just outside my house.....it is so beautiful!

My balcony is starting to look like a little garden

GARDEN (balcony) TIME

Can't wait to start working on my balcony - edamame - broadbeans - mangetout - spinach - rucola - herbs and loads of flowers.......oooh the lovely smell and the bright green colours (especially in the morning). I love this , my small quiet haven in the middle of the centre of Amsterdam.



My sister just gave me some more seeds (bought in Hailsham UK)
